Ari's Review
A 5 Year Old's Review

I think it's cool because we were beating the game together. I think it's funny when the ghosts scare Luigi. Luigi has a funny face when he is scare, he looks like this (makes a scared face) and is shaking. I thought it was going to take a lot of time but I guess I am just really good. I like how we made it all the way to the top of the roof, that was super cool. The chef ghost is the hardest, he is a hardest chef poo poo head. I don't like King Boo and his disgusting big tongue.

I give this game twenty a hundred two thousand a million stars.

My Review
This is my first Luigi's Mansion game which is shocking to me as I am a bigger fan of Mario's awkward brother than of the blue overall wearing man himself. I'll choose Luigi over Mario in any game were that option exists. From Smash to Mario v Rabbids and everything in between, including going as far as dressing Mario in Luigi's clothes in Odyssey.

Luigi is the type of hero I like. The reluctant hero. The "I am scared shitless but I am literally the last person left" hero. And he holds that torch well in an overall fun and creative game.

I liked the puzzles, many of which had me surprisingly stumped which added a nice layer of challenge I wasn't initially expecting. The characters are charming, the levels are diverse, co-op is fantastic and most of the bosses are cleverly designed.

With that said, the controls in this game are beyond frustrating, I had sound issues with character voices, some puzzles were unnecessarily obtuse and polterkitty needs to burn in hell. The controls in this game are so bad, I would have given up on this game had I played it solo. Beating it with my 5 year old son was the highlight of the experience.
